Book Synopsis
Traces the political and legal history of the Indians of Robeson County, arguing that Lumbee political activities ave been powerfully affected by the interplay between their own and others' conceptions of who they are. This book offers insights into the workings of racial ideology and practice in both the past and the present South.

Trade Review
"The work is authoritative, theoretically provocative, and accessibly written, and should stand as a definitive source on the Lumbee for some time, as well as a useful contribution to the understanding of the South."—Choice
"A welcome and valiant effort to elaborate on a quasi-comprehensive basis the history and contemporary status of this indigenous group. . . . It ranks high on the small list of works dealing with an Eastern tribe minus a treaty relationship with the federal government."—Ethnohistory
